INTRODUCTION. 


Ok 
KALAMAZOO, Micu., July Ist, 1884. 

In presenting another edition of our Catalogue, we would 
again thank our numerous friends for their constantly increasing 
trade and influence. Starting business many years ago in a 
small way, and at a time when it was a rare thing to see a Wind- 
Mill, our trade has increased from year to year, until nearly 
every State and Territory has our Mills in operation, and the 
past season many places where we had the best local demand 
was where our Mills had been in constant service from eight to twelve 
years. 

Our sole business is manufacturing Wind-Mills,—we make 
no other machine or tool to divide our attention or interest, 
hence we have constantly kept to the front in improvements; 
and we place our Mill on the market knowing it is equaled by 
few, if any, and excelled by none. 

Dating from the Centennial year, our foreign trade has in- 
creased from a few sold that year until now it is not an infre- 
quent thing to be packing from one to three car loads destined - 
for Australia, South America, Africa, ete. 

We still continue to make the OLD RELIABLE STOVER, with 


all its improvements, for any who prefer that truly desirable 


Mill, which we have made so many years. But all Mills em- 
braced in this Catalogue are of the popular style bearing our 
registered trade mark, ‘‘MANVEL.’? We have observed with 
pleasure the free notices given B. S. WILLIAMS & Co. by some 
who, through misrepresentations, seek to build up their own 
business by damaging us; and we would extend our thanks for 
the gratuitous advertising received from those who, while 
claiming to make better Mills than ours, and attempting to expose 
what they imagine to be the defects of our Mills, are continually 
exposing quite another affair. We have neither the time, space, 
nor desire to enter into any controversy, or to “show up the de- 
fects’’ of other Mills, possessing, as we do, in our own quite 
enough excellent features to occupy our attention and satisfy 
buyers. Should anyone reading this be in need of a convenient 
water supply for Farm, Garden, Dairy, Private Residence, Brick 
Yard, Hotel, Livery Barn, or other purpose, we would request 
such to follow us through these pages, and if any point is not 
clearly illustrated, write us for further information.

Will it pay a Farmer, Dairyman or Stockman to Buy? 


~_»><—*—- 


If a Stockman or Dairyman has to spend 30 minutes each 
day pumping water for his stock, or driving them to a pond, pool 
or creek, how many days of the average length does he spend 
each year in supplying his stock with water. 


If a Dairyman has to drive his cows to a creek or pond in 
winter, are they not liable to be injured by slipping or getting 
cast in deep snow banks? and after being driven to this watering 
place, do they not fill themselves with enough ice une to last 
them 24 hours, which of itself is an injury. 


If this pumping or driving had to be done the same as 
harvesting or planting, how long would it be before something 
would be bought to perform this labor ? 


If it is worth from five to ten cents per day to pump water 
for stock or drive them to some special point, a complete and 
‘permanent water supply for house and stock, at different points, 
can be put in and the above sum pay a good percentage on the 
investment in the saving of labor alone. The Stockman or Dairy- 
man can estimate the advantages of pure water at any time on 
his stock above the saving in labor. 


If the Dairyman has plenty of pure, clean water for his cows 
to get when they want it, and all they want, what percentage, in 
quantity of milk, has he over the Dairyman whose stock obtain 
water by having it pumped for them, or being driven to a water- 
ing place, which must be, at the best, at irregular intervals? — 


If the Dairyman, with plenty of pure water has a percentage 
in quantity of milk, has he not also a percentage in quality over 
others? 


Can the quality of butter or cheese be affected by impure 
water? 


Is it not true that the best cow in the dairy for milk, the best 
steers, or the best sheep in the flock, to take on flesh, are gener- 
ally those of the most quiet and peaceful dispositions, and stand 
the poorest chance of getting what they want when driven to 
water in a body? 


Can a man fatten cattle, sheep or hogs economically without 
water before them all the time? 


Does not the Dairyman and Stockman himself need more 
water some days than others, owing somewhat to the food he eats, 
the temperature and condition of the atmosphere? 

If the above is true, why will not the same thing apply to 
stock of all kinds? 

Bear in mind that your spring of water, off from 20 to 100 
rods, or your well water from any depth, can be forced through 
milk house or creamery and thence to the fields for stock. 


How Gonstructed. 


semen Silas 

In explaining the construction of our Mills, we have pur- 
posely avoided the too-common method of dwelling so much at 
length on any fine theories or principles, which may be inter- 
esting to the mechanic who has given years of study and experi- 
menting to this class of machinery, yet the majority of those 
who use Wind-Mills can give but little thought to these theories, 
and will often be more confused than enlightened by them, and 
in many cases this seems to be one of the main objects sought; 
another being to impress the reader with the idea that an 
immense amount of wisdom and ingenuity had been expended 
in constructing the particular Mill whose merits were being 
set forth. But it by no means follows that the most complicated 
Mill is the best: the exact reverse, in most cases, being true, and 
a few plain, practical points which we shall endeavor to clearly 
set forth, is all that is necessary to be understood in order to 
decide upon the merits of a Wind-Mill. 

We make what are known as ‘‘Solid Wheel” Mills, having 
the fewest possible joints to get. out of repair, and being gov- 
erned by the whole wheel turning, instead of the sections tilting 
separately, as is done by what are called ‘‘Open Wheel”’ Mills. 
It is held to its work by a moveable weight, the raising of which 
by the wind’s pressure causes the wheel to assume a position in 
which it receives the wind less directly, and during a very severe 
gale it presents the least possible surface exposed. We think it 
speaks well for our Mills, that some who seem unable to find any 
fault in them, should advertise our excellent features by at- 
tempting to ridicule this one. We guarantee all Mills made by 
us to run in as high wind as any purchaser desires, and most 
people will probably agree with us, that foolhardiness is no more 
commendable in running a Wind-Mill than it would be in sailing 
a vessel during a storm when unnecessary, simply because both 
happened to be strong enough to stand it.

Fig. 1 shows a vertical section of the iron parts of the 
MANvEL. At AA are seen the anti-friction balls, of which there 
are sixteen, and on them rests the entire weight of the Mill, 
thus enabling it to adjust itself to the changes of wind very 
easily, and with practically no friction. This is very important. 
In fact, the turn-table has properly been termed the vital part of 
a Wind-Mill. If defective here, the defect is quite liable to 
prove fatal to the entire Mill. The ease with which the Mill 
can shift and adapt itself to the sudden changes of the air cur- 
rents in a storm, measures, to a great extent, the capacity of the 


Mill to protect itself and come safely through, and also helps to 
increase the power of mill for work in a light breeze, by en- 
abling it at all times to stand squarely before the wind, and thus 
receive its full force. Our Mill is not only very sensitive on its 
turn-table, but it has also a broad, firm bearing, and for durabil- 
ity cannot be excelled, these parts being made of hard chilled 
iron. It will also be observed that the position of the balls on 
their bearings, together with bearing of Mill on the balls, is such 
that the main casting will always be held in an upright position, 
thus preventing any friction around the sides of main casting, 
where it passes through the turn-table, just below the balls. 
DDDD are different points on main casting, and EE the turn- 
table. BB is the wooden mast to which the turn-table is bolted. 
F is the main shaft. I is spider to which the arms of wheel 
are bolted. K is saucer-shaped casting to which head braces are 
attached. G is chain-pulley casting, and CCCC chain by which 
Mill is pulled and held out of wind when notin use. LL is vane- 
hinge, to which vane is bolted. H is the edge of crank-plate, 
which brake engages when Mill is at rest. ‘‘f” is upper end of 
pitman, with pitman-pin passing through it. The lower end of 
pitman is attached to upper end of plunger in same manner, 
making as simple and direct a connection as it is possible to 
make, and a better or more durable one has never yet been de- 
vised. At b is seen the method of constructing swivel-joint, 
the chain passing through center of same. M is upper end of 
wood pitman, which reaches to pump. “a” shows end of brake, 
and a portion of rod that connects same to vane-hinge. 

The entire working parts of our Mills are encased, thus 
preventing any snow, sleet or dirt from lodging therein, and also 
improving its appearance. These covers have been added to 
please many of our customers who prefer this style, although 
our Mill has so few parts, and is so simple in construction, as to 
make casing much less essential than on Mills that are more 
complicated. For simplicity, durability, andjhandsome appear- 
ance, we claim our Mill is unexcelled.

purpose, and where a large amount of water is required, 
being a solid wheel, and having but three or four parts, requires 
but little care, and is not liable to get out of order—points that 
railroad men and managers will appreciate; 14, 16 and 20 foot

Double Sections of Wheel. 


Description of our 20 Foot Railroad Wind-Mill. 
pee Te 13 
_ In the construction of our large Mills, as-in the smaller ones, 
we aim at simplicity, durability, and thorough adaption to the 
work required; the difference consisting largely in heavier parts, 
with double governor and double sections. 

A, B, and C, Fig. 3, show the main casting, which is heavy 
and strong. Immediately under B are chilled balls, on which 
the entire Mill rests, giving it a turn table without friction, the 
cap B covering them from sleet and ice. D is the cover enclos- 
ing crank and connections, and if any other device can give a 
more direct and simple way to get stroke to pump than the 
way shown, we have yet to find it out. E is the spider or hub, 
to which arms are fastened; F, the vane hinge; G, the sails; H, 
where the arm braces are fastened; I is the collar holding lower 
part of main casting in place; just below is swivel joint, which 
is a very simple joint to draw on, and at the same time a swivel, 
allowing the Mill to change with the wind. KK are the gov- 
ernors, and as the wind increases in its pressure it raises one, 
raising it until the strap just below N catches the other gov- 
ernor. The governors are so hung that as the wheel folds in 
with the vane they are raised and lowered by an increased or 
diminished pressure of the wind, so that in a gale this Mill will 
not run faster than in a high or ordinary breeze. This is the 
important point in any Wind-Mill, and we make the broad claim 
that, resting on anti-friction balls, with our governor of varying 
resistance, our Mill will govern better than any can with the 
weight of the machine resting on an iron surface or turn-table 
_.of two to four inches, for at every change of the wind the Mill 
has to grind around to get out of the wind, and after a time cuts 
out on the side where the prevailing winds hold it most of the 
time, and the wheel then lops over against the tower. Between 
Land M is the rod running from governor to vane, and is hinged 
into governor and vane. This vane, of course, remains in line 
with the wind. Now, as we stated before, the wind pressing 
against the wheel gradually, as wind increases, folds it around 
in line with vane, or edgewise to the wind. The wind diminish- 
ing, it comes back to receive the wind, all the while keeping up 
a regular, uniform motion that conduces to the wearing qualities 
of the Mill and also the pump. 


Mr. A. B. ALMouR, Halifax, N.S.—DEAR Sir: In reply to your in- 
quiry concerning the working of the B. S. Williams & Co. Wind-Mill that 
you erected, it gives me pleasure to say that, after a thorough test against 
severe frosts and storms and light winds, it has proved everything we 
could wish it to be, and does all that you represented it would. The 
arrangement for hand pumping, in case of dead calms, is also perfect, as 
well as the arrangement for throwing it out of gear. It does away with 
the expense of one man, as it only requires to be oiled once or twice a 
week, and one of the section men or station masters, attend to that. Our 
tank is 10 feet in diameter and 11 feet high. It will fill the tank in four 
hours with a moderate wind, or 3,000 gallons per hour. I can with con- 
fidence recommend it, particularly for railroad purposes, or for any pur- 
pose where there is a large amount of pumping required. 

; Yours very respectfully, JAMES YOE, 
Road Master Inter-Colonial Railway. 


P.S.—The above is one of your sixteen-foot Mulls, with a double- 
acting pump of two-inch suction, and of the same discharge. 


dllusiration,--Flate 1. 


~_<— 


On the opposite page we show what at first seems only a handsome 
landscape; but we would call attention to a few points which add, not 
only to the attractions, but also to the convenience, of the surroundings. 
Directly under the Wind-Mill, and within the enclosed tower, is seen one 
of our Pumps, Fig. 736, drawing water from well. From bottom of this 
pump is pipe, shown by dotted lines, leading under ground, so as to be 
below the action of frost, to tank over rustic summer house, on a knoll. 
This is elevated sufficiently to form a head of water that may be used 
for running fountains, sprinkling lawn, and various other purposes; fol- 
lowing the course of pipe under ground again, back of well and back of 
cistern, under porch, and up through the floor of house to sink in kitchen; 
it is seen terminating in a faucet, and by simply turning this a supply of 
well water is at all times had in the house. 

Just above the pump in tower may be observed what is called a tri- 
angle. From this extends a horizontal rod to a similar triangle on back 
porch of house; under the porch is one of our Pumps, Fig. 514, which 
sets over a cistern. By simply inserting a pin in triangle in tower, this 
pump is connected with the Wind-Mill, and when in operation elevates 
water through pipe leading to round tank in attic; from this tank 1s a 
pipe leading down, and terminating in another faucet over sink, which 
supplies soft water in kitchen. Higher up in same pipe is placed a raucet 
supplying water to bath tub in chamber. Either of the pumps shown 
may be operated separately, or both may be worked at same time. 


The details of such a job may be changed in a great variety of ways; 
the object being to show here the general plan for operating two pumps 
with a single Mill, for the purpose of supplying both hard and soft, or 
well and cistern water; one of our 10 or 12 foot Mills being large enough 
to supply an ordinary residence and grounds. If, however, the grounds 
were large and a large amount of water required, a larger Mill should be 
used. These triangles are also frequently used where only one Pump is 
required, if for any reason the Mill and tower cannot be set directly over 
the well; or if well is not more than 25 or 30 feet in depth; the Mill may 
stand one side, with pump directly under it, with pipe leading horizon- 
tally to, and down in well, thus forming what is known as a side draft 
or side suction. 


As hardly any two jobs are alike in detail, estimates of cost can only 
be furnished on application, stating requirements near as possible.

Power of the Manvel Wind-Mill. 


_ Weare often asked about the power of our Mill. This is 
difficult to state accurately, on account of so many varying cir- 
cumstances, that must be taken into consideration. 


The power is derived from the wind, which changes not only 
in its velocity, but also in the density of the air. The location 
of Mill, also, has often much to do with its power, owing to the 
uneven currents of air. The distance which power has to 
be transmitted will make a difference in results obtained. In 
this connection, will be liable to arise intricate questions of 
friction and leverage; and so we might continue enumerating the 
difficulties that render it nearly or quite impossible to give the 
exact power of a Mill, which, indeed, will vary in the same Mill 
under dissimilar circumstances; but, for reasons already stated, 
it can be seen that tables purporting to give the power of Wind- 
Mills are not. and from the very nature of the case, cannot be 
at all times reliable, and are really of no use except to show ap- 
proximate or average results under the most favorable circum- 
stances; while practically an allowance of 10 to 20 per cent. 
should be made for the varying conditions, some of which we 
have named. We guarantee our Mills equal in power to any, 
and rate them about as follows: 


LOSooteMil |e 1-2 to 1 Horse Power 16 foot Mill -------_ 2 to 2 1-2 Horse Power 
12 foot Mill _--____ 1 to 1 1-2 Horse Power 18 foot Mill _---___- 2 1-2 to 3 Horse Power 
14 foot Mill _---____ 1 1-2 to 2 Horse Power 20 foot Mill _---_---_--- 3 to 4 Horse Power 


We are aware the above is rather a modest claim compared 
with that of many manufacturers who announce, and some even 
pretend to guarantee their mills to have more power than any 
other. Knowing this cannot be true of all who claim it we pre- 
fer to let our Mills speak for themselves, and only ask examina- 
tion and comparison, or inquiry from those using them. It must 
be apparent that a given amount of wind pressure on a given 
surface will produce about the same effect on one mill as on 
another, provided both are constructed on reasonably correct 
principles, the main difference arising from the greater or less 
power consumed by friction or complicated leverage. With all 
our working joints as nearly anti-friction as possible, and the 
ereat simplicity and few parts in our Mills we can well be amused 
at the fine theories advanced by many to show that each has a 
mill more powerful than any other in the world. 


It is also interesting to note how frequently some cross-roads 
mechanical genius has invented a mill that is not only more 
powerful than any other, but it is also more durable (the first 
and only one having just been erected,) and with some high 
sounding name it is proclaimed to the world as equally as good 
as the one made by B.S. Williams & Co., and a great deal cheaper, 
besides being constructed on some entirely new and scientific 
principle,—and we might add, with every probability indicating 
in most cases, that both the mill and the principle will pass away 
with the first trying wind they encounter. — 


Pumps. 
Ton ieee 


In this Catalogue we present such pumps as have real 
merit, and will be found to meet all ordinary requirements. 


Many pumps shown by pump manufacturers are only used 
now to a limited extent, or for some special purpose. Where 
pumps of this kind are needed, prices will be promptly given. 


The different styles of pumps are designated by figures, and 
if parties ordering or writing will be sure to use the same figures 
we do, they will often save much trouble, and help to avoid mis- 
takes. 

We add a few suggestions which may, perhaps, assist some 
to better understand a few simple principles relating to raising 
water with pumps. 

SIZE OF PIPES. 


The size of the inlet, or suction pipe, should be about one- 
half the diameter of cylinder, and while the proper working of 
the pump may be interfered with by having inlet too small, yet 
if larger than really needed, it can do no harm. The discharge 
pipe is usually smaller than the inlet when a single-acting pump 
is used, but for pump with double-acting cylinder, it should be 
about the same size. 

SUCTION. 


It is important that the inlet, or suctiom pipe to a pump 
should be air-tight. In theory, water can be raised by suction 
about 33 feet perpendicular height; yet for various reasons we 
never recommend raising it in this way more than about two- 
thirds this distance, and, in fact, the shorter the suction pipe can 
be made, the better and more satisfactory will the pump be liable 
to work, 

THE CYLINDER. 


This is the important part of any pump, and it matters but 
little how elaborate or perfect may be those parts most exposed 
to view; if the cylinder, whether located within the barrel or 
body of pump, or near the bottom of well, and connected to 
top by pipes and rods, be not properly constructed, the whole 
pump will fail of giving satisfaction. Although it is necessary 
to have a cylinder long enough to admit of intended stroke, and 
is even an advantage, sometimes, to have it longer, yet it is not 
essential that stroke should be as long as cylinder. 


PINE BusH, ORANGE Co., N. Y., December 22, 1881. 
B.S WiuurAms & Co.: After using your Mill I must confess it 
exceeds my most sanguine expectations. It operates in the heaviest of 
storms with ease, furnishing my stock with an abundance of water and ia 
creamery to cool the milk of 900 cows My cows will earn me 75 cents 
to $1.00 per head per month more than before. Three out of four of 
my neighbors say they must have one next summer, and you can sell a 

number of them. Yours respectfully, J. M. SMITH

November 26, 1881. 


Messrs. B. S. WILLIAMS & Co.—Gentlemen: I am happy to report 
that the Wind Engine and Pump erected by you on our premises performs 
admirably. Although we have had comparatively but little windy 
weather since it has been in operation, it has done more than the work 
promised by you, and it is supplying more than three times the amount 
of water we require. It is a perfect success in every respect. 

Very truly yours, EUGENE LEIBERT. 


Wind-Mill Pump Standar. 


This cut shows our new, 
improved Wind-Mill Pump 
Standard, such aS we gen- 


erally use, which is, with- 


out doubt, one of the best 
pumps made; works very 
easy by hand or wind 
power, and has come into 
general use in connection 
with Wind- Mills. We 
build these for 6 inch or 10 
inch stroke cylinders, as 
ordered, and screw them 
for 1,14, 1ey/2 or, 2) ineh 
wrought iron pipe, as pre- 
ferred. Always screwed 
for 14 inch, unless ordered 
differently. Give the num- 
ber of feet from the plat- 
form of well to the bottom ; 
and, if drilled, the diame- 
ter of the bore. ‘They can 
be fitted here so that any 
one can put them in. 

This Pump is used to 
raise water to surface only. 
The house tank is built to 
receive water from spout 
of the pump.

Force Pump. 


This Pump is used 
to force water through 
hose for washing ¢ar- 
riages, etc. IsNoTused 
where water is forced 
to an elevation’ and 
remains there. The 
working parts are all 
brass—as are other 
pumps — unless other- 
wise ordered. 

The top revolves to 


any desired position, 
and is very heavy and 
strong, while. the sub- 
stantial brace serves to 
steady the Pump and 
hold it to its place se- 
curely. The gas pipe 
is connected in the 


body, close under the 
spout, and either 1, 
1+ or 13 inch can be 
used, as ordered. On 
the extremity of spout i FIG. ae ; 
we place a coupling and tube for 1 inch hose. We build these 
Standards for both 6 and 10 inch stroke. 

We shall be happy at all times to answer any questions about 


Pumps, whether you want Wind-Mill Pumps or not.

The New 1884 Anti-Preezing Wind-Mill Porce Pump. 


For Elevating Water or Delivering it at Platform. 


ee) oh ale |e 


Fig. 736 represents our Anti- 
Freezing Wind-Mill Force Pump, with 
Vertical Distributing Valve, and 
Brass Elbow Attachment at the 
bottom outlet. This is one of 
the best Wind-Mill Force Pumps 
ever made. We use 14 inch 
Iron Pipe for the discharge, 
which is made in one piece and 
held in place with a set screw 
at the platform base, so that by 
merely unscrewing the coupling 
below and loosening the set 
screw at the base, the pipe can 
be pulled up and the valve and 


SQ, working parts examined and 


N) repaired, and the parts replaced 
without any trouble and in 
much less time than with other 
old style Pumps. We use 2 inch 
Iron Pipe for the Air Chamber, 
which is done to strengthen the 
set length and keep the working 
parts in perfect line with each 
other. At the bottom outlet we 
use a Brass Elbow Union At- 
tachment, which is more con- 
venient in making the regular 
pipe connections than any other 
way. We use a regular Brass 
Stuffing Box above the spout, 
which prevents all leakage when 
hose is connected. The valve 
is opened and closed by turning 
the wheel above the stuffing 
box, as shown in cut. The open- 
ing through the platform is made 
larger, and pipe can pass through 
without taking off the standard. 
We also use a Malleable Union 
Conpling for the plunger rod, 
which can be disconnected much 
easier than with the ordinary 
coupling. At the Lower Work- 
ing Head it is so arrranged, 
that by merely unscrewing the 


SI ST ST ERE IE EELS TE EET IN I aR I ES a 


cap or attachment on top, a 2 inch or 24g inch Plunger can be drawn 
through and so on up through the opening at the platform base, so that 
~ repairs can be made and plungers re-leathered without being compelled 
_ to disconnect the set length, etc. 
; Always fitted for 34 inch- Hose Coupling at the Sok and for 1 inch 
Tron Pipe at Brass Elbow Attachment. The bottom flange is always 
fitted for 114 inch Suction Pipe unless otherwise ordered. When fitted 
’ for 2 inch Suction Pipe we always furnish a malleable forked rod con- 
nection for Wood Rod unless otherwise ordered. . 
- This Pump is made with 6 inch or 10 inch stroke, and may be used 
with tubular well or with any of the Cylinders shown on page 19. 


Syphon, or Tom Thumb Working Barrel. 


Fig. 514. 


This is a very substantial Working Barrel for deep wells, or to force 
water from a spring, especially where there is a side suction. The 
induction pipe enters the outer barrel above the lower valve, thus leaving 
the check valve always primed. = ger is drawn from one side, always 
use a nipple and union. 

For Florists, Gardeners, Br ‘cldamiors Liverymen, or where fount- 
ains or lawn-sprinklers are in.use, this is, no doubt, the best pump to 
buy. Where the amount of wate required is made known to us, we can 
give size of pump and pipe required. In drawing water from one side, 
as is frequently done at a spring, always use a foot valve.

This represents, without a doubt, the best double-acting pump made 
in the country. The cylinders are all bored as smooth as any steam engine 
cylinder. The piston rod of bronze with solid cross-head. The valve-seats 
are of bronze and screwed in, and can be removed or putin. This is done 
without disturbing any other part of the pump, by simply taking off the 
cover or plate. The suction pipe can be easily detached. The pump is 
especially suitable for railways, distilleries, breweries or factories requir- 
ing a large amount of water. 


CYLINDERS. 


Bear in mind, the Cylinder is the 
Pump proper, no matter how attrac- 
tive the top may be, the work is done 
by the cylinder. As before stated 
about pump tops, we only quote 
those cylinders that are in general 
use.

“Harness the Wind.” 

Plate 2, taken from actual photograph, shows how, with 
one of our Mills, we ‘‘Harnessed the Wind” for an owner of 
suburban residence and grounds overlooking the Hudson River. 
We have represented a portion of tower broken away, exposing 
tank elevated therein. We also show the well with one of our 
Pumps, Fig. 514, directly under tower. It is only a question of 
convenience whether tank is placed in tower or on an elevation, 
as seen in Plate 1, or in any other location, so the supply reser- 
voir is high enough to form a head of water; and the higher this 
supply is raised, the greater will be the pressure at the various 
openings where water is distributed. From this tower tank are 
pipes leading under ground to fountain in front of house, and 
pipes also lead to hydrants in various parts of grounds and con- 
servatory. The tower on any such job may be made as fancy 
and expensive as desired, and forms both a support for Mill and 
an ornamental observatory, the top of which may be reached by 
winding stairs inside, and from which an excellent view of the 
surrounding country may be had. In this tower is placed an ex- 
pensive clock, similar to a town clock in a church steeple. The 
Wind-Mill has, of course, nothing to do with this; but it shows 
one of the many ways these ornamental towers may be fixed up to 
suit the fancy of the owner. 

Our Mill is no unsightly machine, but can be painted to 
match the surrounding buildings, makes no noise in its opera- 
tion, and some of the finest residences and grounds in the country 
are supplied with water by one of these Mills. 


The following from Mr. J ohn Breitmeyer, a leading florist, 
at 157 Bates Street, Detroit, speaks for itself: 


B.S. WititiAMs & Co., Kalamazoo. Mich.—Gents: The Wind-Mill I 
purchased of you last November has proven to be all you claim forit. It 
will by a moderate wind run quiet, fast and pump all the water we are 
using daily in from six to eight hours time; we are consuming on an 
average 60 barrels a day. It is drawing water from four different wells, 
the farthest one being 170 feet distant from the place where the Mill is 
erected, and it works to my entiresatisfaction. It will only require a little 
wind. It will pay for itself in a short time, as it does all the pumping 
one hand can do, thus saving me one man’s wages all the year around. | 
would not be without it for triple its cost, and cheerfully recommend it 
to every one. Very truly yours, JOHN BREITMEY ER.

Tanks. 


Next to a good pump, perhaps appropriate Tanks might be 
classed as among the most essential requirements for a satisfac- 
tory Wind-Mill job. The Reservoir Tank is necessary to hold 
water to last, if for a time the wind should not blow. The 
House and Milk Tanks are almost indispensable to the kitchen 
and dairy-room, and Valve Tank for watering stock. We give 
herewith representations of some of the various styles of Tanks 
made by us.

DA 


RESERVOIR TANKS. 


These are either round or square, and the round ones can be made 
any size desired. They are made of pine, painted on the outside, the 
square tank having three to four sets of Oak gripes. 

Figure 7 represents a small size, in common use, known as our 5x2 
round tank. Figure 8 is larger, being 514x3, and is one of the most popu- 
lar sizes we make. | 

FOR FLORISTS OR GARDENERS 
An elevated tank can be set in the tower and give waier sufficient head 
for distribution by means of hydrants and hose. Such a plan is shown 
on page 20. The same thing will apply to 
SUBURBAN RESIDENCES, 
Out of reach of water works. Lawn sprinklers and fountains can be 
had, and all the benefits of an abundance of water secured.

ELEVATED TANKS. 


Figure 9 shows a style of 
Tank we often make, to be ele- 
vated in the Wind-Mill tower. 
- They are known as Tower Tanks, 
and are made of such form as to 
be adapted to shape of tower. 
To prevent water escaping where 
Mill pitman passes through bot- 
tom of tank, we use a piece of 
wrought iron tubing, having a 
long thread on one end, on 
which a lock-nut is first screwed © 
far enough so the projecting end 
will reach through the bottom of 
tank, when another lock-nut is 
screwed up against under side of 
tank bottom, and upper nut is 
turned down snugly against up- 
per side of same, thus forming a 
water-tight joint; the tubing pro- 
jects upward same height as tank, 
and through this the Mill pitman 
works.

SQUARE RESERVOIR TANKS—FIG. 10, 


Are usually made of three sizes—small, medium, and large—having two, 
three, and four sets, respectively, of oak gripes, which go entirely around 
the tank, and are held in place by iron rods. The cut represents the 
medium size, which is the one most used. 


HOUSE TANKS. 


Fig. 5 represents our House 
Tanks, which can be set at 
the pump, on the porch, or in- 
side the house. They aremade 
of galvanized iron, cased with 
inch pine stuff, matched and . 
beaded, with a lid to prevent 
dirt from blowing into them. 
This tank is used by the house- 
wife, and being cased does. not 
freeze. All the water pumped 
for any purpose runs through 
this tank, and it virtually takes 
the place of a spring. Where 
well is near enough to house to 
be convenient, the house tank 
is often placed directly under 
spout of pump, but where 
water is taken from well or 
spring that is some distance 
from house, all water can, by 
means of force pump, still be 
made to run through this 


FIG. 5. tank, thus insuring asupply of 
fresh water for house use. Such an arrangement is illustrated on page 
26, and more fully explained on page opposite. in same place is also illus- 
trated and explained the use of 


MILK TANKS. 


There are hundreds of farmers who consider this very important, in- 
asmuch as the water running around the milk vessels, gives the milk a 
temperature from which the best results are obtained, both as to the 
quantity of cream and the quality of butter made. This is also ene 
with lid to keep out dirt. 


VALVE OR AUTOMATIC TANKS 
'Are made of two-inch pine, painted on the outside; the valve 


and float being covered to prevent animals getting at them. As 
soon as the tank is full, the water raises air-float attached to lever, 
which shuts water off until water is used, when the float dropping 
down, allows water to fill tank as used. We put these in at dif- 
ferent places, and they are virtually a spring, where a man wants 
water without any mud, or the water going to waste. 

Nothing can well be more simple, and at the same time 
more perfect in operation, than these Valve Tanks; being com-. 
pletely automatic, they require no attention when properly set; 
and, no matter how much water is used from them, they always 


remain full, but never run over. For the Farmer or Stockman, 


they are invaluable. The one shown in cut is provided with 


cover having openings; when arranged in this way they are 
called Hog Tanks; the object being to prevent hogs from getting 
~ into Tank, and yet Slew animals to drink, Where no hogs are 
kept, this cover is left off, or a close hinged cover may be pro- 
vided, that can be shut down when not in use. 

We put in hydrants, so that buyers can have water at their 


horse barns, or other points where there is little room to spare.

Explanation of Plate 3. 


We have shown, with Plates 1 and 2, different methods for locating 
Tanks, Pipes, etc., where well is lower than some of the points where 
water is wanted. On opposite page is seen a plan for distributing water 
where Mill and well are on high ground. The tower being inclosed, the 
lower portion may be used as a convenient milk room. A part of the en- 
closure being broken away, shows Pump, Fig. 736, and Milk Tank, Fig. 6. 
From bottom of pump is pipe leading under ground and up through floor 
of house to House Tank, Fig. 5,in kitchen. Inside this tank is a stand 
pipe reaching to within a short distance of top of tank. When tank is 
sutticiently filled, the water overflows down through this stand pipe, and 
pipe leading back under ground to milk tank in tower. A similar stand 
pipe in milk tank allows it to fill to the desired height, when the water 
overflows down through pipe and under ground to reservoir tank. In 
this no stand pipe is used; but from the bottom of it is a pipe leading 
under ground to Valve Tank, Fig. 11, in barn yard. The top of valve 
tank being lower than bottom of reservoir tank, keeps the former full so 
long as any water remains in the latter. It will be observed that all 
water passes, while fresh and cool, through house and milk tanks, thus 
substantially making of each of these a living spring of water, always 
full, and yet never running to waste; the same water passing through 
large tank to valve tank forms a constant supply for stock, whenever and 
in whatever quantity they wish. A covering placed around large tank 
will keep the water cool in summer, and prevent freezing in winter. In 
many such jobs the house tank is placed directly at spout of pump. 
Where this is done, a Wind-Mill Standard, Fig. 585; may be used, doing 
away entirely with the necessity of any force pump. In fact, where 
Fig. 736 is used, it is not essential that Mill should stand on high ground; 
but with well or spring located in the low back ground, water could be 
forced to house tank equally as well, by having sufficient length of pipe. 
In a limited catalogue like this, it is not possible to set forth all the 
various devices or methods we use in connection with the Wind-Mill 
System of Water supply; but we have aimed to give a brief outline of 
what may be done with our Wind-Mills. We invite correspondence, 
with, as nearly as can be, a diagram showing where water is wanted, 
depth of well, amount of water in well, distance from well or spring to 
where water is to be delivered, amount required daily, etc. Recollect 
that a Wind-Mill must go high enough to get the full force of the wind 
in order to be effective. The fact that the trade in our Mill has largely in- 
creased every year since their introduction and that parties having used 
them from four to six years, and needing more mills, have bought of us, 
and paid more money than others could be bought for, is a sufficient 
guarantee of their worth. 

In our State alone, we will venture to say that there have been over 
eae different mills made since we started trade that are not in existence 

o-day. 

Our Mills erected 8 and 10 years ago are working now; the farmers 
of Michigan, Ohio, New York, and many other States, have found that 
thexe is as much difference in Wind-Mills as there is in horses, and with 
our facilities, experience and capital, we shall continue to make Wind- 
Mills that will stand years of service, fully protected by licenses from 
bottom patentees, and fully warranted.

Suggestive Questions. 


Did you ever notice anv farmer that had to leave his plow in the 
field, and go and water his stock ? 

Did you ever see stock on a farm lowing for water until the house- 
wife got so tired of it that she went to work and drew the water for 
them, rather than see them suffer from thirst ? 

Did you ever see stock break out of their pasture because they 
wanted water, and thereby, finding how easy it was to break through 
their enclosures, become unruly creatures, and only fit for the butcher ? 

Did you ever attempt to estimate the shrinkage in stock of any kind 
where they lacked the water they require? 

Did you ever see a flock or herd where the supply of water was de- 
pendent on any one boy or man (if more than one it is generally worse 
for the cattle) get the amount of water they require? 

Did you ever see the estimate of the loss on cattle alone through 
Central Illinois during the extremely dry time of 1881? 

Did you ever notice stock driven by men on horseback long distances 
through the heat and dust to water once every twenty-four hours ? 

Did you ever suggest to the owner of such stock that, by using some 
of the wind passing over his farm, his stock can obtain water any time 
they want it and all they. want by putting up a good Wind-Mill; and that 
such Wind-Mill will not cost him one half what his timeis worth getting 
water by pumping or by driving stock to a distance? 

Did you ever notice that some of the best stockmen buy our Mill 
and then eventually get from two to four more, according to the amount 
of land they own. 

Did you ever notice that when a party bas used a Wind-Mill and 
makes a change to a farm that has none on it, he buys a Wind-Mill 
among the first improvements he makes on his new home? 

Did you ever realize that by using a Wind-Mill all the water can be 
forced through the house, milk tank or creamery, and thence by means 
of pipes to different fields, where, by using a valve tank, you substantially 
place a living spring of water before your stock, without having a foot of 
waste land? . . 

Did you ever think that the spring water you have 30, 60 or 100 rods 
from your house, or the well water, no matter how far below the surface, 
can be delivered in your house or at your door? — : 

Did you ever notice that a first-class Wind-Mill is perfectly self-reg- 
ulating, running no faster in a 20-mile wind than in a 12-mile wind; that 
it is something used every day in the year; that it works night and day, 
regardless of storms, only needing a little oil occasionally ? 

Did you ever think that the wind can be your servant, working night 
and day without fuel, food, wages or instructions, never striking or 
getting tired ? 

Did you ever hear of B. 8. WILLIAMS & CO., Kalamazoo, Mich., 
who are among the oldest manufacturers of Wind-Mills, and whose trade 
has increased each year until now they have the largest home and foreign 
trade of any concern in the country ? 

Did you ever think it was any advantage to buy goods of established 
reputation and from a concern that has all the advantages of capital, 
experience and patents, rather than some experiment that is an “im- 
provement,” so called ? . 

Did you ever stop and think a moment that the claims of these 
owners of “improvements,” of “more power,” and “as cheap as B. 8. 
WILLIAMS & Co. sell,” “made nearer home,” do not amount to anything, 
as the power is nearly alike on all wheels of same size? B.S. WILLIAMS 
& Co. sell Mills as cheaply as first-class ones can be sold, and their Mills 
are at home wherever water is used and wind blows. 

Did you ever write, stating amount of water required daily, and 
whether from a well or spring? If not, hadn’t you better?

before they are put together, the arms are firmly bolted in the 
hub, and the nuts locked, and the sections are also bolted and 
locked to the arms and to each other. We have never seen a 
wheel so fixed to stay as ours. Each Mill is finished and painted 


to wear, and has but three joints to work the entire machine.

¥estimonials. 


aca ote ee 


In our walks about town we notice quite often now at the works of 
B. 8S. Williams & Co. Wind-Mills boxed for foreign shipment, and our 
townsmen are working up a good trade in South America, Australia, and 
South Africa. When sent to the latter place they have the lumber sent 
from here for the towers. Good for Yankee enterprise! Michigan pine 
set up in South Africa with a Kalamazoo Wind-Mill on it, isn’t bad, and 
shows that one of the leading industries of the town is spreading to the 
four corners of the globe.—Kalamazoo Daily Telegraph. 


At the solicitation of many of our agents, we insert in our Catalogue 
a few testimonials from parties in different States, and they are from 
practical and well-known men. B. S. WILLIAMS & CO. 


The following is from Hon. E. 0. Humphrey, late President Michigan 
State Board of Agriculture, and the Mill spoken of is still doing good 
service, and bids fair to continue many years: 


B.S. WILLIAMS & Co.—Gentlemen:—The Wind-Mill put up by you at 
my residence in the spring. of 1876, has proven to be fully equal to the 
recommendation of thesame. It forces water up an elevation of 65 feet 
into the top of my carriage house, which is situated about twelve rods 
from the well, and furnishes water in abundance for my stock-yard, 
horse-barn, and six hydrants for watering my grounds. After having 
considerable experience with other mills, I am of the opinion that your 
Mill is one of the best in use. 

Very truly yours, E. O. HUMPHREY. 


This is from Hon. D. W. Wiley, prominent as a fruit grower, on 
Michigan Lake Shore: 


B.S. WILLIAMS & Co., Kalamazoo, Mich.: You ask my opinion of 
the Wind-Mill on the Lake Shore. One of your Mills has been under my 
eye, you might say, for over three years, and from my observation, and 
from what Mr. Kyle says, I know itis doing the work to his entire satis- 
faction, and stands the storms incident to the Lake Shore, as it stands 
less than one mile from the beach. 

The recent storm was the worst I ever saw in my seven years exper- 
ience on the Lake Shore. It unroofed buildings, tore trees out, and was 
disastrous to many orchards on the Lake Shore, and I must confess that 
I as well as every one in that neighborhood, was surprised to see the Mill 
standing after that storm. 

From inquiry a few days ago, I learn that not a dime has been paid 
for repairs since erection. I am confident they will stand any storm. 

D. W. WILEY. 


B.8. W1LLiAMS & Co.: The Wind-Mill is working in No. 1style. As 
you know it is about two miles from my house, yet I know my cattle get 
all the water they want. When I salt my cattle, I oil my Mill, and let it 
go the rest of the time. Storms don’t seem to make any difference with it. 

I am, respectfully, JONATHAN CARMINE. 


GREECE, N. Y., August 23, 1881. 
GENTLEMEN: Your Mill works admirably. I never realized that it 
would please me as well. I took a great deal of your agents’ talk, and 
made all due allowance for their exaggeration, but-I now acknowledge 
that it was not overstated. I would not think of farming without my 
Wind-Mill. Yours respectfully, D. K. ROBINSON. 


omen. 


Mr. A. B. ALMouR, Halifax, N.S. DEAR Sir: This is to certify that 
the eight Patent Wind Pumping Mills, that you erected at the different 
watering stations along the line of railway last summer have given every 
satisfaction. They have stood very severe storms without any damage, 
are easily managed, requiring to be oiled only once or twice a week, 
which is done by the section men. “Their average capacity is about 1,500 
gallons per hour, in moderate winds. .They are easily and quickly 
changed from power to hand pumping in case of calms. I can confidently 
recommend them for railroad purposes, or for pumping purposes: where a 
steady supply of water is required. ae, Yours truly, 

GRANDVILLE C..CUNNINGHAM, Resident Engineer. ~

7 iy PLAINFIELD, N. Y., December 28, 1881. _ 

Messrs. B.S. WILLIAMS & Co.:. The Mill you put up for me nearly 
two years ago is in good order, and has done all you said it would. There 
has not been a day since it started that I have not had an abundance of 
water. It supplies my house, my father’s house, horse-barn, carriage 
house, barn yard, pasture field, and. four hydrants, and 1 believe it 
has capacity to supply double the amount, as I allow it to pump not more 
than one third the time. There is no investment I have ever made that 
has satisfied me so well for the amount invested, and I am glad to say to 
anyone who will buy one of your Mills he will be thoroughly satisfied 
with it. ; Yours respectfully, C. R. MALTBY. 


eens 3 BANFIELD, BARRY Co., Micu., December 20, 1881. 
GENTS: There can be six, possibly seven Mills:sold in my neighbor- 
hood; as there were quite a numberof cheap Mills sold here about two 
years ago, and they: never satisfied the buyers.: My Mill has run seven 
years and has whirled every day without a cent of expense to me since it 
was first put up. What will you charge me for Six 10-ft. mills? 

Yours truly, — I. H. WICK WIRE. 


The above is from a.county where they “know what the wind was 
made for,” as the wells are from 80 to 160 feet deep, and nearly every man 
has some kindof a Mill. We shipped eleven to nearest R. R. Station 
within three weeks of date of above letter. —_ ee , bua 


RED Key, JAy.Co., INp., April 14, 1881: 
B.S. WILLIAMS & CO.—Gentlemen: Please ship me one of your ten- 
foot Mills. J have been trying one of the mills, but shall not have 
anything more to do with it, as the four mills bought of you in 1874 are 
doing good work to-day. Yours truly, J.B. KINNEY.

CONEWANGO, CHAUTAUQUA Co., N. Y., Dec. 22, 1881. 

I cannot understand why more of our dairymen do not use a Wind- 
Mill. I would not think of doing without one, especially in such a dry 
season as the past one. It has paid me, and I know it will pay any dairy- 
man who cannot run a spring through his barnyard. 

Yours respectfully, H. ALDRICH. 


. CUTLER, IND, APRIL 18, 1881. 
MEssrs. WILLIAMS & Co.: The Mill I bought of you two years ago 
works first rate, and I cau recommend it highly. Yours, ete., 
GEO. W. SHANKLIN. 


CHURCHVILLE, N. Y., Oct. 18, 1881. 
B.S. WILLIAMS & Co., Kalamazoo, Mich.:  . 

It was a surprise to me, and I think it is to every one that buys a 
Wind-Mill, to find how little trouble they are, and how much better they 
do their work than was anticipated. If people would only stop and con- 
sider a short time, they would see that there is not a single tool, from a 
jack-knife to a binder, that is more useful than a good Wind-Mill. I use 
my Wind-Mill more days than I do my knife, and predict their universal 
use all over the country. Yours very respectfully, 

CHARLES A. PALMER. 


: RocHESTER, N. Y., February 1, 1882. 
MEssrRs. WILLIAMS & Co,: In my gardening business I find the 
Wind-Mill pays me very well, as there are times when a little water saves 
the life of thousands of plants. With an elevated tank it is short work 
to water a large number of plants, the water being pumped when I am 
asleep or at work. Respectfully, WM. COOPER. 


~ DutcH NEcK, N. J., June 18th, 1884. 
B. 8. WILutiAMs & Co, Kalamazoo, Mich: 

Enclosed find check in payment for my Wind Pump, which works 
splendidly, and gives me all the water I need. I would not be without 
the Mill for three times what it cost. Yours truly,

The Wind-Mill I purchased of your agents, J. A. Watts & Son, is 
doing all you promised. I am using it to water from 15 to 20 horses and 
125 cows giving all the water I want; but this fails to express one-half 
the satisfaction we have in its use. Yours, etc.,

The Manvel Wind-Engine I have cannot be surpassed for strength, 
durability, workmanship, and ease with which it regulates itself in bigh 
winds. at same time workng with uniform motion. The Break-Shoe is a 
very simple and effective device. I would recommend your Mill above 
all others that have come under my observation. 

Yours respectfully, J.T. STICKNEY.

b.S. WILLIAMS & Co., Kalamazoo, Mich.: 
In regard to the Wind-Engine I purchased through your agents, 
J. A. Watts and Wm. H. Hyde, I would say that it is the best investment 
I ever made, as it is the most labor-saving machine I ever placed on my 
farm, doing away with water-holes cut through the ice, (a work I have 
been obliged to do every winter for over 25 years,) now bringing the 
water from Lake Champlain into my yard in a most acceptable manner. 
Would recommend your Mill to all. Respectfully yours, 
Bb. C. BLANCHARD. 


These are only a few among hundreds of letters we have; but the 
satisfaction is the same as expressed in the above letters.
